The AP is a project collecting data and photographic records of data referring to the owners of the Library’s printed books and manuscripts: bookplates, stamps, ownership and readers’ notes, and binding marks. The project aims at reconstructing the history of the Library’s holdings and of every single item. It is part of a broader project supported by the Marciana focusing on the history of its holdings and collections, as well as on single exemplars, and...

<p>There Paulicians and the Tondrakians were two Christian heretical sects which have been considered as two branches of a single heresy by some modern scholars, while others have retained them as two completely separated groups. Grigor Magistros Pahlawowni (ca 990-1058) was an Armenian polymath who actively fought the Tondrakians, and has left an important eyewitness account of the practices and beliefs of these heretics. In one of his letters, he is also credited of...

Generally, depressed people tend to adopt submissive behavior, to have a low self-consideration in social comparison, which causes fear of a negative evaluation. A time-prolonged submission results into a development of depression. Likewise, from an evolutionary view, religious beliefs and attitudes have functional implications for social life: establishing and maintaining hierarchies, figures of power, and asymmetric relationships. All these implications accounted for submissive behavior in religious people. In this study, the link between depression, religious...

The presentation contains the third lecture of the "Course on how to turn web-based services into Service Providers of Identity Federations" given by GARR (the Italian National Research & Education Network) for the Sci-GaIA project.

The resource is a virtual appliance containing a clone of the Sci-GaIA Open Access Repository (http://oar.sci-gaia.eu). The instructions to install and configure the virtual appliance are available at http://oar.sci-gaia.eu/record/20.

Bollettino Sismico Italiano, I quadrimestre 2015, version 1.0 contains 5467 earthquake locations in the Italian region in the time frame between 01-01-2015 and 30-04-2015, locations refer to all earthquakes located by INGV, the events with magnitude greater than 1.5 (2438) are revised by BSI analysts; to locate the earthquakes we used 373 stations which contributed to the locations with 26893 P phases and 20370 S phases . Data have been recorded by the National Seismic...

We report on an effort evaluating the use of 3D-printing in the design of weather station components. The first component studied is a solar irradation shield in the shape of a pagoda to be evaluated in the WIMEA-ICT project designing an affordable automated weather station for rural Africa. The design environment is based on open source software (OpenSCAD/Cura) and a 3D-printer in the 2000 EUR range, Ultimaker 2. Our conclusions are that 3D-printing is still...

Bollettino Sismico Italiano, II quadrimestre 2015, version 1.0 contains 5590 earthquake locations in the Italian region in the time frame between 01-05-2015 and 31-08-2015, locations refer to all earthquakes located by INGV, the events with magnitude greater than 1.5 (1621) are revised by BSI analysts; to locate the earthquakes we used 319 stations which contributed to the locations with 23286 P phases and 17370 S phases . Data have been recorded by the National Seismic...

The author stresses that several recent contributions from psychoanalysts of different post-Freudian schools have shifted their focus of interest from the origins of religion as a historical and cultural phenomenon, to personal developmental paths toward religion as it can be observed in the case-history of individuals. The first benefit of this change is that all arguments about the truth value of religious beliefs can be avoided. To achieve this aim, the author, like many others,...

We study the relationship between education and fertility, exploiting compulsory schooling reforms in England and Continental Europe, implemented between 1936 and 1975. We assess the causal effect of education on the number of biological children and the incidence of childlessness. We find surprising results for Continental Europe: the additional education generated by compulsory schooling expansions led to an increase in the number of biological children per woman and a decrease in childlessness. The results for...
